You can delete operations from jobs and repetitive schedules regardless of the status of the job or schedule. However, you cannot delete an operation if any of the following conditions exist:

• assemblies have been completed for the operation

• resources have been charged at the operation

• pending move and resource transactions exist for the operation

• quantities exist in any intraoperation step of the operation

• purchase requisitions (either approved or unapproved) or purchase orders exist for outside processing resources assigned to the operation

You also cannot delete an operation from a repetitive schedule with a status of Released, Complete, or On Hold if there are other active schedules for the assembly on the line.

If you delete an operation, the system reassigns its material requirements to the first operation in the routing or to operation sequence 1 if there are no other operations in the routing.

   To delete an operation:

1. Navigate to the Operations window.

2. Select the Job or Line and Assembly.

3. If you select a line and assembly, choose the repetitive schedule by selecting the first unit start date of that schedule. If you have selected a discrete job, the system displays the scheduled start date of the job.

4. Choose the Find button to populate the Operations region.

5. In the Operations region, select which operation to delete by selecting its operation Sequence.

6. Choose Delete Record from the Edit Menu.

7. Save your work.
